I knew you could.

Don't like the contests? Don't attend them, don't watch them on TV.

No audience, no money, they go bye bye.

People need to stop looking to the government to solve niggling problems. It distracts from the real issues.
This pretty much sums it up for me. Why do they need to be banned? Why does someone else have to come in and "save us from ourselves"? Will this solve the problem of parents living vicariously through their kids and kids dressing like mini adults? NO... banning this would be a bandaid and nothing more. There was a family at McDonalds one day and the little girl couldn't have been more than 7 or 8 and she was wearing high heels, a mini skirt and a belly top. Treating the symptoms doesn't cure the disease.

For Halloween this year Hannah has decided she wants to be.... Maleficent LOL. Of all things. We have to get creative though because they don't make child sized Maleficent costumes. Hannah says "Why not?" and I told her "Because MOST little girls don't want to dress up like the villain LOL
